#302 of 306 Frozen Windows by bingles Jul 06, 2008 (8:29 am)
This is a warning to those living in cold climates who are considering buying the new generation of the Scion xB. I bought the 2008 xB in February and was soon surprised to learn that as often as not there would be one or two windows that I could not roll down (electronically) when the temperature was below freezing. There is apparently some problem with the design of the gaskets that allows moisture to creep in. When it freezes, the motor "decides" that it's better to stop trying than to burn itself out, and the window stays put. I live in upstate New York, and park my vehicle outdoors.     Apparently Scion believes that this is normal behavior, though they said that they added some grease. As this was done late in the season, I don't yet know if it will have any effect. They warned me that there have been customers whose doors have become frozen shut.

Replying to: waps (Jan 19, 2009 1:55 pm) It's a completely different vehicle, so I doubt they would fit. Replies to this message: waps (Jan 26, 2009 8:09 pm)

#306 of 306 Help!! scion timing chain trouble by wsome001 Nov 16, 2009 (8:52 am)
The tensioner froze and the chain slipped a bunch of teeth. I've got the timing cover off, using the manual, etc... and can't seem to get the timing chain set correctly - I line up the marks as noted in the manual, turn the crank by hand, and the marks never line up again.   Any suggetstions?
